Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of corporate governance practices such as (board size, board composition, CEO duality and audit committee) on the performance of selected Pakistani firms. Research design, data, and methodology - This study examines corporate governance structure by using the data of 80 non-financial firms listed on Karachi Stock Exchange Pakistan during 2010-2014. Hypotheses of the study were tested by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Result - The findings indicate that board size and audit committee is positively related to the firm performance (ROA & ROE). In contrast, board composition and CEO duality are negatively related to the firm performance (ROA & ROE). As far as controlling variables is concerned, leverage is negative, whereas firm size is positively related to all measures of performance. Conclusions - Empirical findings concluded that corporate governance practices affect the firm performance. Therefore, it is suggested that managers should understand the governance mechanisms to work more efficiently in the firm.

본 연구에서는 문헌고찰을 통해 IT Governance의 정의와 연구변수를 살펴보았다. IT Governance의 정의와 주요 요소 에 대해서는 큰 이견이 없어 보였으나 실제 연구에서는 이러한 정의와 적합하지 않는 변수가 사용되는 경우도 있었다. 반면 국외연구에서는 조직구조, 프로세스, 관계 매커니즘을 중심으로 IT Governance 체계를 확립하는 데 중점을 두고 있음을 알 수 있었다. IT Governance 도입의 우선적인 목표는 효과적인 관리체계를 구축하는 것이 옳다고 판단된다. 즉 IT활동의 구체적인 내용에 앞서서 구체적인 형식과 원칙을 수립하고 이를 철저히 준수함으로써 IT성과가 산출되기를 기대하자는 것이다. 따라서 IT Governance의 연구도 이러한 Governance 체계의 확립과 그 효과에 집중할 필요가 있다고 본다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 배경 하에 향후 IT Governance의 체계적인 연구를 위한 Framework을 제시하였다.

This paper aims to provide a review concept regarding the relationship between corporate governance and corporate sustainability in Indonesia. This paper examines the mechanisms and guidelines for implementing good corporate governance. This research used the literature review method and explores some effective corporate governance principles such as transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, fairness, and equality to achieve business sustainability in Indonesia's setting. The results show that good corporate governance regulation in Indonesia has been improved, but the enforcement is still needed to be optimized because good corporate governance will positively impact corporate sustainability. Thus, sustainability requires more corporate innovation because sustainability is about how a company can create profits and value-added to society through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs and how the company can contribute to the preservation of nature and the environment. In Indonesia, the board of directors, the board of commissioners, and the audit committees are positively related to CSR disclosure. Thus, leadership and management efforts are crucial. However, to comprehensively support the synergy of implementing good corporate governance, we need the role of the state, the business community, and society. This study provides important insights into the implementation of good corporate governance in achieving corporate sustainability in Indonesia.

Inter-organizational Relationships (IORs) governance is one of the emerging research areas that have been studied in different contexts (e.g. economics, strategy, organization, and management). This view, particularly, attracted rising attention from academics and practitioners in the context of construction projects, due to the complex forms of IORs in terms of inter-firm exchanges (e.g. engineering, procurement, finance, construction, and operation) in these projects. The focus of IORs governance is to control Inter-organizational relationships among two or more cooperative parties to alleviate conflict and achieve mutual gains. One of the mechanisms that have been identified in the related literature is formal governance mechanism. Although many empirical studies have been conducted using formal governance terms and indicators, there isn't yet a consensual definition of this mechanism and its components that may cause misinterpretation of research results and also impede future research. This paper makes contribution to the concept of IORs governance by clarifying the meaning of formal governance mechanism and identifying different indicators of this mechanism that have been used and identified in previous studies. This provides an innovative and useful framework to understand formal governance mechanism and its application in construction projects.

This paper empirically examines the relationship between one of the major corporate governance attributes; family ownership and the audit committee activity across a sample of 430 publicly traded firms on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) for the period 2012-2019. Using the Pooled OLS regression, this study finds that family ownership is negatively associated with audit committee activity. This study reported that family ownership is negatively associated with audit committee activity, giving support to the convergence-of-interest hypothesis. Therefore, the existence of family ownership as a monitoring corporate governance mechanism substitutes the audit committee activity as another monitoring mechanism. This study provides empirical evidence on the associations of two internal corporate governance mechanisms, namely; family ownership and audit committee activity in the Saudi context where there is a paucity of research in this area. The findings of this study provide a new understanding regarding the extent to which family ownership impacts the activity of audit committees in manufacturing companies. Similarly, the companies' management, external auditors, bankers, and companies would also benefit from understanding the influential factors of the audit committee activities.

This paper examines the impact of corporate governance strength on capital structure in an emerging country, namely, Jordan, by constructing a corporate governance score that captures both internal monitoring mechanisms (foreign ownership and institutional ownership) and external monitoring mechanism (audit fees). In addition, this study uses profitability as control variable. This paper uses data of non-financial companies (industrial and services) of 87 listed firms on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) from 2011 to 2019. Using the random-effects generalized least square (GLS) regression model, the findings reveal that foreign ownership significantly and negatively influences the level leverage, while institutional ownership has a positive and insignificant association with level leverage. Further, audit fees have a positive and strong significant association with level leverage in Jordan. In addition, profitability has a positive and significant association with leverage. These outcomes suggest that foreign ownership should be encouraged in listed companies as it can replace the weakness of other corporate governance mechanisms in Jordan. The outcomes of the current study should be of great interest to regulators and policy-makers. The results, which are robust to a range of alternative proxies and to additional tests, provide new insights into the determinants of level leverage.

본 연구에서는 기업의 대리비용이 판매관리비의 비대칭적 원가행태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고, 기업 지배구조가 대리비용이 판매관리비의 하방경직적 원가행태에 미치는 영향관계에 어떠한 조절효과를 보이는지를 분석해 보았다. 2007년부터 2012년까지 국내 유가증권 시장에 상장된 1,780개 제조기업을 바탕으로 다중회귀분석을 통해 실증 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대리인 문제가 큰 기업의 경우 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 판매관리비의 하방경직성은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 경영자가 매출액이 하락하더라도 자신의 특권적 소비를 줄이지 않기 때문에 판매관리비의 하방경직적 원가행태가 증가된다고 해석할 수 있다. 둘째, 대리인 문제가 심각할 것으로 예상되는 기업을 대상으로 기업 지배구조가 판매관리비의 원가행태에 영향을 미치는 지를 분석한 결과, 좋은 기업 지배구조를 가지고 있는 기업의 경우 판매관리비의 하방경직적 원가행태가 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 경영자의 대리인 문제 통제에 효과적인 지배구조를 가진 기업일수록 대리인 문제에 기인한 판매관리비의 하방경직적 원가행태가 완화되는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구는 대리인 문제의 크기가 판매관리비의 원가행태에 어떠한 영향을 미치며, 이런 영향관계에 기업지배구조가 조절효과를 가진다는 것을 실증적으로 규명해 보았다는 데 연구의 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

This study examines how South Korean governments responded to the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS) using the adaptive governance framework. As of November 24, 2015, the MERS outbreak in South Korea resulted in the quarantine of about 17,000 people, 186 cases confirmed, and a death of 38. Although the national government had overall responsibility for MERS response, there is no clear understanding of how the ministries, agencies, and subnational governments take an adaptive response to the public health crisis. The paper uses the adaptive governance framework to understand how South Korean governments respond to the unexpected event regarding the following aspects: responsiveness, public learning, scientific learning, and representativeness of the decision mechanisms. The framework helps understand how joint efforts of the national and subnational governments were coordinated to the unexpected conditions. The study highlights the importance of adaptive governance for an effective response to a public-health related extreme event.

Based on the theoretical underpinnings of the agency theory and liquidity theory, the purpose of this study is to show how managers who want to enhance the performance of Pakistan's non-financial sector can use liquidity policy in relation to corporate governance. Nowadays, Pakistan is facing a severe liquidity crisis; this study contributes by examining the mediating role of liquidity on the link of corporate governance-performance. We use data from 63 firms from 2010 to 2018, excluding 17 outliers. To analyze the data, we use the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SURE) model and nlcom-Stata test. Our findings support the mediating role of liquidity on the link between corporate governance and performance. In addition, the results show that corporate governance improves performance. Furthermore, the study supports a significant positive association of liquidity and performance. For robustness, we use two performance variables - return on assets (ROA) and Tobin's q (TQ) - where ROA represents full mediation and TQ indicates partial mediation. This study helps to use liquidity policy to strengthen the inside and outside dimensions of corporate governance mechanisms that improve the performance of firms. Overall, these findings suggest better disclosure, transparency, and solutions to auditing issues that add value to the firms.
